universities are adapting to technological advancesand society needs by introducing new courses, new programs and concurrently implementinginnovative methods to complement the class room teaching. Fundamental engineering theoryconcepts are still the core material in introductory courses, however, implementation andapplications of this theory is becoming more and more specialized. Specialized fields inengineering disciplines continue to grow in order to meet this demand. As a result engineeringcurricula must provide relevant examples for students, be based on the needs of society, anddevelop methods used by real world engineers1.One such specialized field is the current demand for engineers with fundamental understandingof building system design.

acknowledge that science and engineering ethics is a cooperative endeavor. Thefocus of this pedagogy is not to teach the graduate students something completely new, but ratherto help them to think about what they already know, analyze it with new tools and perspectives,and reflect on the impact of their daily decisions. This idea of being reflective – the ability toexplore where scientific and social values come from, what they mean, and how they may berelated to decisions about science and engineering – is a key component of the process to getscientists to engage with ethical and social issues as they conduct their technical practice.

derived from a graduate-level course inmechatronics that both authors have taught separately for Purdue University’s School ofMechanical Engineering (Purdue). The authors share a doctoral advisor, who developed theoriginal course at Purdue. As colleagues in both research and teaching, the authors have engagedin frequent collaboration regarding instruction in mechatronic design. While the pairing of asmall, private university with a large, public university is unusual in regards to studentpopulations, the authors used common lecture materials and laboratory experiments to minimizedifferences in student populations. Differences in student response to the PBL implementationare expected and further work will be needed to analyze those differences.An

As a skills consultant, the mentor helps themhone their communication skills (written and oral) and provides them with opportunities todevelop their teaching and proposal writing skills (which are relevant to industrial jobs as well asacademic).

experience, the following two items have to be thoroughly discussed and agreed upon beforeinitiating an internship: 1. A permanent full-time faculty member usually has many more responsibilities than teaching a few classes. These may include membership in committees, laboratory supervision, graduate student supervision, program coordination, research, student advising, responding to questionnaires and reports requested by the department and the university, and active involvement in seminars and conferences. There must be a strong commitment from the entire department to take on the responsibilities of the faculty on leave to prevent the faculty from being summoned to campus.

HEVs offer excellent potential for reduced emissions and lower energy usage.Three major objectives have driven the development of the GATE graduate program: First, is theestablishment of a laboratory environment that includes computer workstations for design andanalysis, data acquisition and control hardware, a hybrid powertrain dynamometer test cell and achassis (vehicle) dynamometer. Second, is the development of two new courses (one entitled HEVEnergy Analysis of Hybrid-Electric Vehicles: and the other entitled Modeling, Simulation andControl of Hybrid Electric

teaching more efficient from the time and resource point of view. 6. Continuous self-learning. At the end of any program, the graduate should have developed the ability to learn by herself and to perceive the learning process as a continuous activity that extends beyond the university years. This is obtained through a process that exposes the student to basic research concepts such as library research, laboratory and field research, expert advice, drawing conclusions, and professional opinions. The graduate should leave the university with enough knowledge to guide him in the right direction when new problems arrive that require the acquisition of new knowledge. 7.

One of the most common challenges for educators who teach this type of courseis covering all desirable hardware and software concepts in a single semester. To help remedythis situation, we recently redesigned the course so each student must complete a single mobilerobot project with multiple “subsystem labs” replacing the previously unrelated lab sequence.We believe this more integrated approach improves the course for both educators and studentswhile facilitating the development of a systems design methodology.
